In this project you will conduct an investigation on local
and world weather and climate. To complete your investigation, you will have
at your disposal detailed instructions that describe how to create weather
instruments, how to access the Internet to locate real-time weather
information from around the world, and this online educational project to
guide you along.

Specifically, students will:

develop a basic understanding of how weather can be
described in measurable quantities, such as temperature,
wind and precipitation

use hands-on activities and real-time data
investigations to study factors that affect weather and climate.

Weather Scope: An Investigative Study of Weather and Climateis recommended for
upper elementary, middle school and high school students (ages 11-18).
